As I do every spring/summer, I’ve been up to my elbows planning next year’s homeschooling. It’s great fun, and I always put a lot of work into it. The more planning I can do during the summer, the smoother our experience during the school year. And since my daughter is beginning 9th grade next year, I’m also looking ahead to the entirety of high school for her.

Lately, I’ve been focusing on planning Literature. You know, novels, plays, poetry. I know plenty about what novels and plays to have us work on, but I had to read a lot of poetry to get a feel for what kind of poems certain poets have written. I stumbled across some real gems (and some that are pretty hard to read and understand), but this is my favorite one, completely applicable to today.
